Gears — Complete Guide (Plants vs Brainrots)

Two broad categories: Consumables/buffs (potions, single-use grenades) and tools/weapons (guns, launchers, buckets). Consumables apply temporary global or local buffs; weapons/tools are held and used actively by the player.

Equipping / ammo: Weapons like the Banana Gun have limited ammo; when ammo depletes the gear disappears and must be repurchased. Grenades and potions are single-use items. Read the gear tooltip in the shop for exact mechanics.

Stacking rules: Some potions (e.g., Speed + Lucky) are commonly stacked by players for session optimization — community guides recommend ordering potion use (Lucky before planting expensive seeds). Exact stacking behavior can be game-patched; check the in-game description for definitive stacking rules.

Shop NPCs & restock cadence: The game exposes gear in shop NPCs; community trackers and the game wiki report that seeds & gears restock roughly every 4–5 minutes (commonly observed ~5 minute cadence). Use the shop timers to plan buys.

Robux offers & event packs: Several gears are available for Robux (e.g., Lucky Potion, Speed Potion) or in special bundles/starter packs; prices and availability vary by event or bundle. Community sources document Robux prices such as ~179–199 Robux for some potions.

Event / quest shops: Some gears are exclusively obtainable via events (Prison update items like Riot Potion, Handcuffs) or quest rewards — these are often claimable repeatedly while the event quest is repeatable.

Lucky Potion: Widely reported as the top ROI consumable for mutation/rare spawn chasing — use immediately before planting expensive seeds or opening Secret/Meme eggs to maximize chances. Some community reports list a Robux price (~179) or occasional event availability.

Speed Potion: Speeds player and plant action rates; very useful during intensive planting/upgrade sessions. Reported Robux price ~199 in community roundup articles.

Damage / Riot / Event Potions: New event potions (e.g., Riot Potion from Prison update) provide event-specific utility and are often best used in the matching event window.

Practical stacking tip: Community players commonly use Lucky → Speed → Plant sequence for best effect: increase luck first (for rare rolls), then speed to accelerate planting and mutation attempts. Always confirm current stacking rules in-game.

Lane control: Use stun/slow tools (Frost Grenade, Frost Blower, Handcuffs with 20s stun, Taser with 15s stun) to neutralize heavy waves and prevent leaks. The recent stun duration improvements make crowd control exceptionally effective.

Boss handling: For bosses with very high HP, heavy weapons (Carrot Launcher) and coordinated damage potions + plant DPS are recommended. Use speed/damage potions immediately before boss spawns to compress the window.

Hybrid play: Combine active weapons (Banana Gun) with area tools (Frost Blower) and potions to stabilize lanes while your plants scale income. The best combos depend on your plant roster and mutation status.

Shop purchases: Regular gears and Robux items via the in-game shop; restocks ~5 minutes.

Event / Quest rewards: Prison update and similar events add exclusive gears that can be claimed from quest progress (these are often repeatable while the quest is active).

Bundles & Starter Packs: Some starter packs include high-tier gears (e.g., Frost Blower or Lucky Potion) with Robux — useful for jumpstarting new accounts.

Gifting & trading status: Community chatter and official notes indicate gifting/trading returns or features are periodically enabled; always follow official game channels for current rules. Use caution: trading carries risk of scams — do not share account credentials.

TOS & bots: Avoid third-party automation for shop monitoring that violates Roblox's Terms of Service. Use community trackers that operate within TOS.
